Jana Vodesil-Baruffi showcases some of her latest works this season.
The Weight of Freedom $6500 | Oil on canvas, 160x120cm
This is the weight of freedom. The heaviness of bricks and mortar The tricks of sticks and stones The sweetness in the tea The extra lump And unbearable promise of something more.
Motion of decisions $10,500 | Oil on canvas, 200x120cm
A decision – any decision will create enough motion for me to gather up these thoughts and scatter them into the wind. I probably won't know if it's the wrong decision. But if life becomes more precious, it will have been right.
Expectant Not for Sale | Oil on canvas
Artwork | A piece from a new collection of paintings (in production) inspired by the book Half the Sky, with the hope of bringing attention to modern slavery and the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.
Whisper of Something More $4500 | Oil on canvas, 85x150cm
To spread your wings you need only a few things The breeze at dusk An open sky The blanket lifted Eyes cast upwards and the whisper of something more.
Jana Vodesil-Baruffi blends astute realism with lush fantasy, creating images that are at once familiar and otherworldly. An artist who has always appreciated the organic shapes of nature and the human body, Vodesil-Baruffi makes visible the mystery that lies beneath the observable world. In her work, human breath merges with gusts of wind, trees grow out of bodies, and bodies turn to rivers. Colours embody energy, and the movement that pulls the eye across each painting seems to be gesturing toward a wide-open abyss of emotion.
